NOTE The Voice Command application is not available in all
languages. See Setting up voice commands
IMPORTANT Do not become distracted from driving safely if
operating a motor vehicle while using Device Software.
Operating certain parts of this Device requires user attention.
Diverting attention away from the road while driving can possibly
cause an accident or other serious consequences. Even occasional,
short diversions of attention can be dangerous if your attention is
diverted away from your driving task at a critical time. Do not change
system settings or enter data non-verbally (using your hands) while
driving. Stop the vehicle in a safe and legal manner before attempting
these operations. This is importan t since while setting up or changing
some functions you might be required to distract your attention away
from the road and remove your hands from the wheel.
Microsoft makes no representations, warranties, or other
determinations that ANY use of the Software Product is legal, safe, or
in any manner recommended or intended while driving or otherwise
operating a motor vehicle.
.

General Operation
Voice Command Control: Many of the functions of the Device
Software can be accomplished using only voice commands. Using
voice commands while driving allows you to initiate the command
with a button and then operate the Device mostly without removing
your hands from the wheel.
Prolonged Views of Screen: If you are driving, do not access any
function requiring a prolonged view of the screen. Pull over in a safe
and legal manner before attempting to access a function of the
system requiring prolonged attention. Even occasional short scans to
the screen may be hazardous if your attention has been diverted
away from your driving task at a critical time.
Volume Setting: Do not raise the volume excessively. Keep the
volume at a level where you can still hear outside traffic and
emergency signals while driving. Driving while unable to hear these
sounds could cause an accident.
Let Your Judgment Prevail: The Device Software is only an aid.
Make your driving decisions based on your observations of local
conditions and existing traffic regulations. The Device Software is not
a substitute for your personal judgment.
Use of Speech Recognition Functions: Speech recognition
software is inherently a statistical process which is subject to errors.
It is your responsibility to monitor the speech recognition functions
and address any errors.

SIM card is not included in your

provider will provide you with one.
To take advantage of the high-speed data

TIP
If your smartphone does not turn on after
you insert the battery, you need to connect it
to the AC charger to charge it (see Charging
the battery). If it still doesn’t start, perform a
soft reset (see Performing a soft reset
).
6 Follow the onscreen instructions to
finish the installation.
7 If your SIM card is not already activated,
follow the activation steps provided by
your wireless service provider, or
contact your wireless service provider
directly for assistance. If you plan to use
email and web browsing, you need a
data service plan from your wireless
service provider in addition to your
service contract. You may also need a
data service plan to send and receive
multimedia messages.
TIP
You can buy an extra battery as a spare for
long airplane trips or periods of heavy data
use. To ensure proper functioning and avoid
voiding the warranty, be sure to use batteries
from Palm only. Visit www.palm.com
.
Charging the battery
Although the battery may come with a
sufficient charge to complete the setup
process, we recommend that after setup
you charge your smartphone for three
hours (or until the indicator light is solid
green) to give it a full charge. See
Maximizing battery life
your battery’s power last longer.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN Make sure the
battery is inserted in your smartphone
before you charge. If you connect your
smartphone to a power source without the
battery inserted, nothing happens.
1 If you have international adapters in your
smartphone package, prepare the AC
charger by inserting the adapter that fits
the wall outlet you’re going to use.
2 Plug the AC charger into a wall outlet.

Maximizing battery life
Battery life depends on how you use your
smartphone. You can maximize the life of
your battery by following a few easy
guidelines:
• Charge your smartphone whenever
you’re at your desk, or charge
it overnight each day. The battery in your
smartphone has a much longer useful
life if you charge it frequently instead of
waiting until it’s fully drained.
• If you spend a lot of time using the
camera, games, media players
(including listening to music with
wireless headphones using the built-in
Bluetooth
®
wireless technology), or
other applications, keep an eye on the
battery icon and charge when
necessary.
• The wireless features (phone, email,
messaging, and web) on your
smartphone generally consume more
power than the organizer features.
If you don’t plan to use the wireless
features on your smartphone for a
while, turn off your wireless services
(see Turning wireless services on/off
).
You can forward calls to a different
number or let all calls be picked up by
voicemail (see Forwarding calls
). To see
if your wireless services are on, tap the
phone-off icon and select Wireless
Manager.

• Use the stylus to tap or in the
upper-right corner of the screen. These
buttons are not accessible using the

Highlighting and selecting items
On most screens, one item—a button, a
list entry, or a check box—is highlighted by
default. The highlight identifies which item
is affected by your next action. Use the
5-way to move the highlight from one item
to another before opening or selecting it.
TIP
The best way to learn to use the 5-way is
to experiment. Press the 5-way buttons, and
as you do, follow the movement of the border
around the screen. The behavior of the 5-way
varies slightly in each application.
The highlight can take one of two forms,
depending on what is highlighted:
• Border: This rectangular border
highlights items such as an onscreen
button (such as OK, Dismiss, or Hide), a
check box, an option, or a web link.
